Five years ago, when it was time for my cousin to start college, my 75-year-old grandfather, Rex, decided to do the same. He went to 1 , taking classes twice a week until his death last summer.
As a student, my grandfather spent countless hours in his office 2 and completing assignments. Although he was twice as 3 as his professors, he loved going. He said,“You can never 4 too much, no matter how old you are.”He loved everything about school. Learning new things was truly his passion.
My grandfather’s will to learn was a great 5 for me to do my best in school. We were always 6 with each other, trying to bring home the better grade.
When he turned 80 and still had a full head of hair, my grandfather felt like he could take on the 7 . He felt like he could beat the unstoppable no matter what came in his way---whether it was his continuing with cancer 8 a tough professor.
Some people look to Superman or Batman as their 9 , but my grandfather will forever be my hero, the 10 who always came to my rescue. My grandfather was made the hall of fame(名人堂) at his high school as one of the school’s most successful football players. When I did some research I 11 that his nickname was Atlas. In Greek mythology(神话), Atlas held the heavens on his shoulders. For my grandfather’s football team, he was 12 Atlas, holding the team together. He was my Atlas too, as the foundation of our family.
In my times of need he was always there to 13 me and celebrate my accomplishments. I could count on him to help me out and stand by me. The strength he 14 with me will continue to hold me up as I forever keep his memory 15 in my heart and mind.

This year I decided to do something to regain my good name as a kindly uncle. My 1 Tony,had never forgiven me for the dictionary I had bought him as a birthday present last year. His 2 had no reason to be thankful to me either,because the year before, I had 3 their dear son with a pot of paste(浆糊) and some funny pictures. Instead of 4 them into a book, Tony had naturally covered every wall in the house with them. This year, 5 , I decided to let him 6 for himself.
We went into a big shop,but Tony was very particular about 7 . Although I tried to show him toy after toy,he was not to be 8 . Then I saw he suddenly became 9 ; he had discovered something he really liked: a large tin dram. I was quite happy too 10 I thought what Tony’s mother would say when she saw it. Nobody would get any 11 for weeks! I led Tony away 12 , saying that the dram was too expensive.
Tony asked for permission to go off 13 and I made the most of my chance to sit down end 14 my aching feet. Fifteen minutes passed but there was still no sign of Tony. I began to get 15 and got up to look for him. I asked a young lady if she had seen a little boy in a grey suit. She looked 16 her helplessly and pointed out that there were so many 17
in grey suits. I was just going to call the police for help,when I saw a strange 18 dressed in strange orange clothes. He was wearing a false beard and had a caveman’s axe(斧子)in one hand,and a space gun in the other. It was, of course,Tony, who informed me 19 that he was the first 20 to fly into space.

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And 1 otherwise assignen（指定）a seat by the teacher, I always 2 to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this 3 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 4 because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 5 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ 6 for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up t he courage to go to the tryouts was only the 7 of it! When I first started 8
the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much 9 what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get 10 and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid. 11 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to 12 on learning the game, do my best at each prctice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t 13 “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 14 and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and moticating. Very soon the competitive 15 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the 16 — friends who respect my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my 17 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “18” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 19
raising my hand — even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent 20 I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.
